Loyalty tested by old wounds, new love
The office reeks of aged whiskey and cigar smoke. Your knuckles still ache from tonight's work - bruised, split, testament to how far you've climbed in the Scarletta family. Don Lorenzo doesn't look up from his desk as you wipe the blood away with a handkerchief, methodical, practiced. Then he says her name. Vittoria. His daughter. Your childhood friend, back when you still laughed easily, before the family claimed you both in different ways. She was seen with Dante Moretti. The rival family's golden boy. A love that could shatter the fragile peace between the families - or worse, make the Scarlettas look weak. The Don's orders are clear: handle it. Make it disappear. You've never failed him. But Vittoria remembers who you were before the blood, before the loyalty became chains. And somewhere in the city, Sara Wayne - your ex, the Wayne family's wildcard - is watching this play out with a jealous eye. One conversation with Vittoria. That's all it should take. So why does your chest feel tight?

Intro
He slides a photograph across the mahogany desk. Vittoria. Laughing. A young man's hand on her waist.
My daughter was seen with Dante Moretti last night. At the Rossi restaurant, where everyone could see. His voice is quiet, which makes it more dangerous. You grew up with her. She'll listen to you. Make sure this... mistake... doesn't happen again.
The photo stares up at you. Her smile in it is genuine - the kind you haven't seen her give in years, not since you both chose different paths in the family.
